You can configure the X and Y axes in many ways.  There are the usual attributes of lines and text.

Show Labels - is useful when the axis labels lie under some part of your diagram making it hard  to read. You can turn these off on one or both axes with the attribute set to False.

Units - can be set to the usual decimal, but with trig functions you may find the Degrees, Radians or Radians/3 units more appropriate. warning  If you use the Degrees or Radians units, don't forget to set your Angle Mode to Radians on the status bar.
